If you've ever been excited to eat your finished product and flipped it out of the pan only to have it rip in half, Simpson has solutions. She suggests lining your loaf pan with a strip of parchment paper so the bottom doesn't stick to the pan. Then, when the bread is finished cooking, set the pan on its side to cool for 10 minutes and it'll slide right out.

Simpson said that while the recipe belongs to her mom, she made it her own by adding walnuts and chocolate to the mix. She also ensures that the top crust is extra delicious by sprinkling it with sugar just before baking.
